Gisele Bundchen Buzz Cut

Gisele Bündchen Goes (Almost!) Bald For Balenciaga

Gisele Bündchen has the long, thick beachy-textured hair that women dream of. Heck, her gorgeous mane even landed her a gig with hair giant Pantene. So our jaws dropped to the floor when she showed off a sleek, side-parted buzz cut for the new Balenciaga campaign. It was shot by Steven Klein with Anthony Turner on the epic hair styling and makeup by Diane Kendal.

"This is how I see Gisele for Balenciaga; strong, powerful, mysterious, and uncompromising," Balenciaga artistic director Alexander Wang told WWD. "This season we worked with this idea of vanity, staged in a room filled with mirrors. But the cracked mirror is a continuing thread from the marble veins and creeping ivy leaves from seasons past."

Let's discuss: does Gisele's more masculine haircut fill Wang's vision of making the megamodel seem more androgynous and strong? Or do you prefer Gisele with lengthy, feminine flowing strands?

Why does she have to have "masculine" hair to look strong? Why can't she be understood as strong with more feminine hair? I mean it looks great but can't we just say that aesthetically this was a cool choice?
